Asus B51 Rugged Notebook

Asus takes the more rugged route with the B51 notebook that was specially built to withstand harsh operating conditions as well as the rigors of constant travel. It features a lightweight yet strong magnesium alloy chassis that provides adequate protection for its innards, while holding out against shocks pretty well with rubber bumpers along the edges and a high strength protective film that shields the notebook from scratches. A sponge protection system helps keep the Asus B51′s hard drive safe, while a drainage path has integrated into its design so that the keyboard won’t kaput that easily whenever a clumsy colleague with a drink in hand drops by your desk. It can withstand drops up to 75cm in height, so you can be sure this ain’t no mommy’s boy notebook.
